synopsis
Country singer Jerry Reed makes a return appearance to Mel's diner in this episode. At the invitation of Mel (Vic Tayback), Jerry deposits a large fish that he has caught in the restaurant refrigerator until he has time to get it stuffed and mounted. But Alice (Linda Lavin) and the girls don't know about this arrangement--and when they come across the fish, they subdivide it into fillets. Diane Ladd (Belle) sings "Uncle Bud."
